cal student who got the virus on a trip to asia and rode bart while contagious. >> we know residents and people in the area may have been exposed to measles. >> reporter: the student took bark from the el cerrito del norte station to downtown berkeley from february 4 to 7 during the morning and evening commute. with an average ridership of 400,000 a day, that's 1.2 million people who may have been exposed to the measles. in years past, this wouldn't have been a big deal. everyone was immunized, no questions asked. this is berkeley in 2014 though and many parents opt out of the mmr vaccine. at one berkeley school only half of all kindergartners have been immunized. many parents are like actress jenny mccarthy thinks vaccines cause autism. >> i have always vaccinated. some people don't but i feel for the -- it's for the betterment of all and so i do that. i do that to my children.

>> reporter: the disease is airborne and can survive for one to two hours outside the the body which makes the bart connection of concern. >> bart cars have ventilation systems and circulate air regularly. >> reporter: for public health providers, it comes down to this effect: a nearly extinct disease is back again for one reason. >> if this individual had been vaccinated and was exposed to measles abroad wouldn't have been affected and wouldn't have brought the disease to the united states and all this wouldn't have been happening. >> reporter: andria borba, kpix 5. >> back in 2000, the cdc declared measles was eliminated from the u.s. that meant there aren't seasonal outbreaks but there are still widespread outbreaks in other countries. 189 americans were infected last year. 28% of them got the measles abroad. the man charged with kidnapping and killing teenager sierra lamar pleaded not guilty nearly two years after he was arrested. antolin garcia-torres was arraigned yesterday after being indicted by a criminal grand jury. sierra lamar vanished on her way to school in morgan hill in

of the burglars and eventually confronted him. he says the bad guy pulled a sharp object that was a screwdriver. the security guard shot the suspected burglar in his leg. >> this is a nice area. >> yeah right. >> reporter: neighbors in oakmore say crimes is getting worse for the past three years a block and a half away burglars recently shot an 81- year-old woman in the shoulder, another woman pistol-whipped. >> i'm glad he did. if it was me i would have shot and killed the guy not just shot him in the leg. he would be dead. >> reporter: joe vazquez, kpix 5. >> police say normally security guards are told only to observe and record but when they witness a felony in progress, they can take action. many california counties including most in the bay area have tough restrictions on people's rights to carry concealed firearms. now a three-judge panel in the appeals court has ruled those tough restriction are unconstitutional. yesterday's decision specifically involves a case in san diego county. there and in many other counties, applicants for
